Face Down

Chapter 6

-Dealing With Disapproval-

I walked downstairs that morning and into the kitchen.

"Good morning," I said when I saw my parents. They simply ignored me, and Sora seemed to be having a hard time containing his new fit of laughter. Why he was even laughing, I have yet to find out. I slapped him in the back of the head and stole his bowl of cereal. "Hey!!" he whined, rubbing the back of his head. I was about to take a spoonful of the cereal when he leaned over and spit in it.

"Eww, Sora, your so stupid!" I said, pushing the cereal away from me like it was about to explode. Sora happily took it back and began to eat. I was actually surprised that my mother didn't start yelling at both of us. Instead she calmy ate her breakfast and watched the early morning soap opera on T.V. I decided that I would just eat breakfast at Axel's house. I quickly ran to the front door, and was about to open it when my mother said, "Freeze."

I stopped suddenly, and slowly turned around to look at her. She shook her head warningly. "We told you that your not allowed to associate with him anymore, and your grounded,"

I rolled my eyes and slowly walked upstairs, ignoring Sora's staring and snickering.

Life sucks.

-----------------

It was finally Monday, the day I hoped would never come. But of course, it came even faster than usual. I was walking down the hall and past the principal's office when I heard a few familiar voices coming from inside it. I looked around quickly, then pressed my ear against the door to listen. I heard my parent's voices, Axel's parent's voices, and the principal talking about something...

"Please make sure you keep them away from eachother," I heard someone say. My eyes widened.

I can't be with Axel at school now, too?! This isn't fair! I back away from the door, and ran right into someone. The person put their hands on my shoulders.

"Hi, Roxy-kun," he whispered, sending shivers down my spine.

I turned around quickly and saw Axel, who was smiling brightly. I sighed.

"Do you know that our parents are in there?" I asked him. He nodded.

"My daddy told me that they were going to talk to the principal."

I looked down. "No one told me..."

Axel lifted up my chin and smiled.

"Don't worry, Roxy-kun, we'll get through this together," he said softly. It made me feel better to know that someone was still on my side, even though it seemed that the whole world was against me...

---------------

Axel recieved a new class schedule, and it turns out that we only have P.E. and lunch together...

But, the teachers made sure we didn't sit together at all. And, after school, Sora forced me to walk home with him, and take the longer route. After forcing myself not to commit suicide after hearing Sora babble about some preppy shit that I tried ignoring, we finally came home.

I darted inside the house and upstairs to my room, where I slammed and locked the door. I could not stand walking home with Sora, and I refuse to do it again!!

"Finally..." I said to myself in relief. I went to get my cellphone and call Axel, but when I walked up to my desk, I noticed it wasn't there. I searched my whole room for it, and couldn't find it.

I ran downstairs and to my mother. "You have my cellphone, don't you?" I said in an irritated tone. She turned her attention to me and nodded.

"Yes, and that's so you can't make phone calls to him either," she stated simply. My jaw dropped.

"Oh my god! This is getting to be ridiculous!" I yelled, "Give me my cellphone!"

My mother shook her head. "No, Roxas!"

I ran upstairs to her room to search for the phone, and she followed closely behind me. "Roxas!" she said, grabbing my wrist in order to refrain me from opening another drawer. This woman is getting me so pissed off...

I agressively pulled my arm out of her grip, and glared at her. I stomped past her and to my room, where I slammed and locked the door. I sat up against the door and put my head in my hands. Why was everything so hard? Why whenever something good happens to me, it gets taken away? There's no way I'm going to let it happen this time...

--------------

It was midnight. I quietly crept out of bed and slipped on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. If your thinking 'OMG HE'S GONNA SNEAK OUT AND GO TO AXEL'S HOUSE!', you're right.

So...

I quietly crept downstairs and opened the door, making sure to shut and lock it as quietly as possible...

I jumped the fence separating me and Axel's lawns, and ran back behind his house and stood tens of feet underneath his window. I picked up a small rock and threw it at his window. Only minutes later, he opened the window.

"Roxy-kun??" he said, in a rather loud whisper. I smiled at him, feeling ever so happy to see his face looking at mine again. I waved, and he jumped out of the window.

"What're you doing here?" he said with a smile. I smiled back brightly.

"Axel...I've been thinking about what you said, and I just wanted to let you know that no matter what happens, I'm not going to let you go, either,"

We both stood there, smiling brightly at eachother, when suddenly, Axel's expression saddened.

"But our parents, our teachers, EVERYONE is against us...how can we even SEE eachother anymore?" he answered doubtfully, "I'm beginning to question my own words..."

I looked down. Its true; how can this ever work out?

"Let's run away."

Axel looked up at me, giving me a blank stare, "what?"

"Let's run away," I repeated.

CloudsGirl: Meh short chappie...

Anyways, I've been getting a few complaints about the format the story was in, so I changed it a bit. Let me know if you like it better this way.

As for it being centered, thats just how I write. I can't make it to the left because it just doesn't look right to me.

Anyways this chapter was kinda random but it's starting off what chap.7 will be about.

Hope you like it and please submit a GOOD review!
